The Atlanta Thrashers and Florida Panthers completed the first trade on deadline day, with forward Radek Dvorak going to the Thrashers for forwards Niclas Bergfors and Patrick Rissmiller, a source confirmed for Sporting News.

Dvorak, a 15-year veteran, adds size (he’s 6-2) and stability to an offensive corps that needs to step up if the Thrashers hope to make up the four points that separate them from the Eastern Conference playoff pack. Dvorak makes $1.7 million on his current contract and can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Bergfors has not been a great fit under Craig Ramsay but does have an offensive upside with 33 goals in 142 career games.
